Thanks Richard. I was wanting a video of memorabilia/toys of the UK. Much different from the US. Now about those big Ford, GMC, Chevrolet trucks – who can afford to run them there? I liked the '67 Camper Special especially as it looked to come from the Western or deep southern US due to its lack of rust. Those era Ford trucks often rusted in two right behind the cab or the cab floor would decay and sag over the frame. The Camper Specials had heavy duty rear springs and extra cooling capacity for hauling campers/boats, etc. I was just surprised to see all the American heavy iron in one shop!
👌👌
Nice, but at about 21 mins in, when you were showing all the stuff inside the mini-bus/van, the unsteady-cam started to make me feel rather queasy! perhaps you might invest in a steady-cam? …just a suggestion! 😉

That second vintage trading post you visited used to be a garage. My first job when I left school was there. We were Ford and Austin dealers. Where the horse stood used to be a set of three petrol pumps. Happy memories thanks.

I lived in Devon for a while as I worked at the then airline HQ in Exeter, so your utterly fascinating tour of places well known to me was a treat. As a total workaholic, I fear I never had time to visit these wonderful old garages and new museums much to my regret. Your eclectic knowledge made the video, as well as the visual treats. Thanks to you both, and glad to see that Ned The Shed will benefit, as well as the paternal collection!
